Yep, painted blue bulbs froms eBay are the best your going to get in temperature colour match to HIDs. They generally offer quite poor light dispertion though.

Thanks very much for the replies!

I have taken a look at how to fit the bulbs. With the larger light on the outside, I can unplug the cable but how do you remove the bulb itself?

Then, how on earth do you get the the little bulbs out from the centre lights? Sorry for poor descriptions!

Thanks,

Its very fidly to change the bulbs in the 9n i find, once i replaced a bulb but it didnt lock in place and as a result one of my headlights lens burnt inside and needed to be replaced so i can only recommend the best way is to remove the headlights themselves to change the bulbs, as the h7 bulbs have a locking mechanism, and to do this you will have to remove the bumper if i can rember correctly.
